The VUB Brussels was the first to make camel antibodies by phage display in E. coli

Camel antibodies are used to stabilize protein for kristallisation

A project to make a binder and a xray spectroscopy starts at 8 000 euro

Camel antibodies are much easier to produce because the can go less wrong with the reduced size in the rearranging. IgGs often fold wrongly. The batches can be big.

Camel antibodies will go much deeper into cavities of protein structures than IgGs can. They are also less antigenic due to their small size. Therefore Camel antibodies are superior therapeutic tools.

The camel antibodies are produced in Alpacas that are often held in Belgium as a pet. The alpaca will not suffer from the 3 injections and 1x blood supply. This is enough B cells for a whole camel antibody phage display library.
